BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000; Revision to the List of Covered 

Facilities 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of revision of listing of 

covered facilities. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOE’’) periodically 

publishes or revises a list of facilities 

covered under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000, as amended 

(‘‘EEOICPA’’ or ‘‘Act’’). This notice 

amends the previous lists that DOE 

published by removing the designation 

of the Mathieson Chemical Company 

facility in Pasadena, Texas, as an atomic 

weapons employer (AWE) facility. 

Previous lists or revisions were 

published by DOE on June 30, 2010, as 

amended by August 3, 2010, April 9, 

2009, June 28, 2007, November 30, 

2005, August 23, 2004, July 21, 2003, 

December 27, 2002, June 11, 2001, 

and January 17, 2001.

Office of Health and Safety (HS–10),

ADDRESSES: The Department welcomes 

comments on this notice. Comments 

should be addressed to: Patricia R. 

Worthington, Ph.D., Director, Office of 

Health and Safety (HS–10), U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose 

EEOICPA establishes a program to 

provide compensation to certain 

employees who develop illnesses as a 

result of their employment with AWEs, 

DOE and its predecessor Agencies, 

certain of its contractors and 

subcontractors, and listed beryllium 

vendors. Section 3621(4) of the Act 

(codified at 42 U.S.C. 7384l(4)) defines 

an AWE as ‘‘an entity, other than the 

United States, that—(A) Processed or 

produced, for use by the United States, 

material that emitted radiation and was 

used in the production of an atomic 

weapon, excluding uranium mining and 

milling; and (B) is designated by the 

Secretary of Energy as an [AWE] for 

purposes of the compensation program.’’ 

Section 3621(5) defines an AWE facility 

as ‘‘a facility, owned by an [AWE], that 

is or was used to process or produce, for 

use by the United States, material that 

emitted radiation and was used in the 

production of an atomic weapon, 

excluding uranium mining or milling.’’ 

It has recently come to the attention 

of the Department that the Mathieson 

Chemical Company (also known as 

Pasadena Chemical Corporation, Olin 

Mathieson Chemical Company, and 

Mobil Mining and Minerals Company) 

facility in Pasadena, Texas, should not 

have been designated as an AWE facility 

because no material that emitted 

radiation, which was processed or 

produced by the Mathieson Chemical 

Company, was used in the production 

on an atomic weapon. 

This notice formally makes the 

change to the listing of covered facilities 

by removing the Mathieson Chemical 

Company facility in Pasadena, Texas, as 

an AWE facility under EEOICPA. 

Issued in Washington, DC on May 17, 

2011.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial 

Action at Active Uranium and Thorium 

Processing Sites 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Revised notice of the acceptance 

of Title X claims during fiscal year (FY) 

2011. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces 

revisions to the Department of Energy 

(DOE) acceptance of claims in FY 2011 

from eligible active uranium and 

thorium processing site licensees for 

reimbursement under Title X of the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992. In our 

Federal Register Notice of November 

24, 2010 (75 FR 71677), the Department 

announced the closing date for the 

submission of claims in FY 2011 as 

April 29, 2011. In a subsequent Federal 

Register Notice of May 3, 2011, (76 FR 

24871), the Department announced it 

had become necessary to defer that 

closing date for acceptance of claims; 

and at a later date, the Department 

would announce a new closing date for 

the submission of FY 2011 claims and 

a new address for submitting the claims. 

DATES: The revised closing date for the 

submission of claims in FY 2011 is June 

3, 2011. These new claims will be 

processed for payment by June 1, 2012, 

together with any eligible unpaid 

approved claim balances from prior 

years. All reimbursements are subject to 

the availability of funds from 

congressional appropriations. 

ADDRESSES: Claims should be forwarded 

by certified or registered mail, return 

receipt requested, to U.S. Department of 

Energy, Office of Legacy Management, 

Attn: Title X Coordinator, 2597 Legacy 

Way, Grand Junction, Colorado 81503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

published a final rule under 10 CFR part 

765 in the Federal Register on May 23, 

1994 (59 FR 26714), to carry out the 

requirements of Title X of the Energy 

Policy Act of 1992 (sections 1001–1004 

of Pub. L. 102–486, 42 U.S.C. 2296a et 

seq.) and to establish the procedures for 

eligible licensees to submit claims for 

reimbursement. DOE amended the final 

rule on June 3, 2003 (68 FR 32955), to 

adopt several technical and 

administrative amendments (e.g., 

statutory increases in the 

reimbursement ceilings). Title X 

requires DOE to reimburse eligible 

uranium and thorium licensees for 

certain costs of decontamination, 

decommissioning, reclamation, and 

other remedial action incurred by 

licensees at active uranium and thorium 

processing sites to remediate byproduct 

material generated as an incident of 

sales to the United States Government. 

To be reimbursable, costs of remedial 

action must be for work which is 

necessary to comply with applicable 

requirements of the Uranium Mill 

Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 

(42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) or, where 

appropriate, with requirements 

established by a State pursuant to a 

discontinuance agreement under section 

274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 

(42 U.S.C. 2021). Claims for 

reimbursement must be supported by 

reasonable documentation as 

determined by DOE in accordance with 

10 CFR Part 765. Funds for 

reimbursement will be provided from 

the Uranium Enrichment 

Decontamination and Decommissioning 

Fund established at the Department of 

Treasury pursuant to section 1801 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 

2297g). Payment or obligation of funds 

shall be subject to the requirements of 

the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 

1341). 

Authority: Section 1001–1004 of Public 

Law 102–486, 106 Stat. 2776 (42 U.S.C. 

2296a et seq.).

Technology Evaluation Process 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of request for 

information (RFI). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) seeks comments and 

information related to a commercial 

buildings technology evaluation 

process. DOE is seeking to create a 

process for evaluating emerging and 

underutilized energy efficient 

technologies for commercial buildings 

based on the voluntary submittal of 

product test data. The program would 

be centered on a publicly accessible 

listing of products that meet minimum 

energy efficiency criteria specified for 

the applicable technology type. 

Evaluation under the criteria would be 

based on product test data submitted by 

manufacturers, then analyzed by DOE to 

generate information related to the 

energy savings of the products. For 

those products that met the specified 

minimum energy efficiency criteria, the 

results of such analyses would be made 

publicly available. The program would 

provide centralized information on the 

analysis factors in a manner that would 

make results directly comparable 

between products within the same 

technology type or area. 

DATES: Written comments and 

information are requested on or before 

June 27, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons may 

submit comments, identified by docket 

number EERE–2011–BT–NOA–0039, by 

any of the following methods. Your 

response should be limited to 3 pages. 

Questions relative to responding to this 

RFI may be sent to the same mailbox in 

advance of your response, and will be 

answered via e-mail.
